A Colorado ski town can't fill a job with a $167,000 salary because potential candidates can't afford to live there

• In Steamboat Springs, Colorado, even high-earners are being priced out, NBC reported.
• The city manager said two people turned down a six-figure job after not being able to find housing.
• Steamboat Springs is among many ski towns in the West facing skyrocketing housing costs.

As many rural communities struggle to deal with a jump in housing prices, it's apparently gotten so bad in one Colorado town that a $167,000 salary isn't enough to solve the problem.
